Something Wick This Way Comes

Wonder how far this series will go and will we get John Wick in space. How far will he have to travel?

Funny how a guy is clearly killed in the train station and nobody cares. Supports the feeling of this being a cartoon world where assassins could be everywhere.

Wonder how far this series will go and will we get John Wick in space

We wondered aloud about how in the hell they could ever "top" this, and this very idea was raised.

release the Geoff Darrow poster, you cowards!

Saw it today

I love the opening, him going from neon times square to ye olde pistol/gun/knife emporium to fkn horse stables ...i love how much they love juxtaposing modern vs antique so much

keanu on horseback is everything bcs he can actually ride (of course he can he can do everything)

motorbike swordfight was dope af. do we know if that was keanu’s bike brand? i meant to look that up.

halle berry & her rad dogs were RAD AS FUCK those dogs flying through the air was awesome, such amazing trainers they must have
angry halle is good halle.

the GLASS room fascinated me, because of the different strengths. it’s kinda genius in the design, creating tension just from not knowing when/if it will shatter & when

i still love first movie the best for sheer simplicity of plot & economy of dialogue but they could make 50 of these, i’ll love em all if Keanu keeps doing his thing

Yup! Plot’s not as trim as the first, obviously, but I think the action scenes were the best of the series

motorbike swordfight was dope af

chopped-off arm blocking up one of the motorbikes' wheels was one of those moments I thought my brain made up as I was watching it

yeah that was insane

Things I liked a lot:

• Keanu getting horses to kick people to death
• The ninjas-on-motorcycles scene (even though it was stolen straight from The Villainess, which is also amazing)
• The dogs
• Knife fight in the weapons warehouse

Things I found genuinely upsetting:

• The dude getting knifed in the eye in slow motion
• Keanu shotgunning people's heads off

Minor quibbles:

• Part 2 ended on a sunny afternoon in Central Park; Part 3 begins in a massive black-sky downpour
• The actor playing "The Elder" was too young to be playing someone called "The Elder"
• How are you gonna stage a fight in a room full of cauldrons of molten gold and not dump one goon into the molten gold? Boo, I say

Keanu getting horses to kick people to death

When they went into this stable I thought to myself "it's too bad they're probably just gonna fight around the horses and not, like, have Keanu get them to kick them" and then he did it a bunch of times

The dude getting knifed in the eye in slow motion

I don't remember this being literally in slow motion, just agonizingly paced compared to the rest of the sequence. But yeah even for a movie like this, explicit ocular trauma seems like a bridge too far for some reason

nah its all great imo

new & exciting ways to off ppl

Italian horror movies love eye stabbins

we’re in a nu-eye stab era, transitioned right there from the recent eye gouge era

• Keanu getting horses to kick people to death

this was hilarious. also killing someone with a book which seemed like a particularly Keanu-specific way to off someone.

lol someone actually did it https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Wick&type=revision&diff=897955582&oldid=897910397

JW4 confirmed for May 2021

i was hoping to have a good time at this and i didn't really, it was fine

theater was pretty dead, though, like five people and i was the only person who laughed at some of the rare funny bits. maybe with a liver audience it would have been more fun.

liver audience?

live-er

The audience was rather pancreatic

show some spleen ffs

it was fine

the gall!

it was fine is the new it shouldn't have been made

a fine post

I guess people in high places saw my poll clowning on the awfulness of videogame adaptations because Wick writer/director is apparently filming a Just Cause movie and now I'm actually excited about a videogame adaptation.

oh

my

god

becky

wicky

the word is "livelier"

man u said it

livelier and deadlier

what is fishburne at i love it

anyway this was good, I was trying to place where I knew the actor playing Zero the head sushi assassin from and it turned out I have only ever seen Mark Dacascos before as the Chairman on Iron Chef America

should I watch Kickboxer 5

was mad about this

it played with pretty much everything that way

disappointed nobody shushed them when they were fighting in the stacks.

Iron Chef Chairman was so good in this
Sonny Chiba vibes, sorta? anyway he was dope

it's true he ruled and now I've updated my desire for a Henry Golding action vehicle to include him as the buddy

i do wish he'd used his martial arts chops more on iron chef. bobby flay needed some kicking.

big guy shushed john

anyway this was good, I was trying to place where I knew the actor playing Zero the head sushi assassin from and it turned out I have only ever seen Mark Dacascos before as the Chairman on Iron Chef America

Dacascos was, improbably, my fave of the main villains so far

he’s had a pretty solid career outiside Iron Chef doing direct-to-video action movies (TONS of them), and he’s always popping up on tv shows

and yeah, def the most charisma of the Wick villains to date

apparently Hiroyuki Sanada was originally going to have that role but he turned it down for the small part he had in Avengers Endgame

I'm basing this off of a couple of film writers and speculation, but if so: rough move
